CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard cross country team
announced its 2010 schedule Monday. The schedule features 10
competition dates, as well as a preseason scrimmage at Iona Sept.
10.

The Crimson kicks off its 2010 slate with the Iona Meet of
Champions Sept. 18 at Van Cortlandt Park in New York. Six days
later, Harvard travels to New Haven, Conn., to take on Ivy League
rival Yale Sept. 24. On Oct. 2, the squad will take part in the
Wisconsin Inter-Regional meet and will send runners to both the
Brown Invitational and the Pre-National Meet in Terre Haute, Ind.,
on Oct. 16. The Mayor’s Cup will take place Oct. 24 as
Boston-area schools will race at Franklin Park and the Heptagonal
Championships begin five days later at Van Cortlandt Park.

The NCAA Regionals are slated for Nov. 13 at Hammonasett Beach
State Park in Connecticut and the IC4A/ECAC Championships are the
following weekend at Van Cortlandt Park. The 2010 NCAA
Championships will be contested Monday, Nov. 22, in Terre Haute,
Ind.

“I am really excited about this year’s
schedule,” said director of Harvard track and field/cross
country Jason Saretsky. “It will give our student-athletes a
great mix of competitions as well as some opportunities to race on
a few new courses.”

Harvard looks to improve upon its strong 2009 campaign which saw
the men finish sixth at Heps and the women turn in their best
performance at the league championship since 1995 with a runner-up
result.
